What a dumb question. Nobody will ever know. The Osh haters will believe one thing and other will believe something else. In the end what difference does it make?
If Drew Bledsoe doesn't get hurt is Belichick a bad coach? If Wally Pipp doesn't have a headache, is Miller Huggins inept?

If they are sold out then it is probably in the right sort of venue. It used to be the hottest ticket, but then they went to stupid locations like the bar in Toronto and whatever that was in BC a few years back. Last year was much better, and this year it sounds like it will be back to what God intended.

I would say that I saw as much holding by the Bombers as I did by the Riders. The non-calls on holding were a good thing as far as I am concerned.

Its about time. Better late than never.
Hope it sticks for a season or two. People love the Bombers but all the Debbie Downers constantly going on about not winning in 29 years and traffic at ths stadium has put a damper on it for the last few years.

he was also benched because really he was hardly utilized....wasn't dropping balls...wasn't playing hard...he was just usually told to sit in the flat..take a dump pass and be expected to beat 3-5 guys before he basically got his feet moving...every sweep he ran was succesfull...was open many times on deep shots where our QB couldn't connect with him....but Collaros has shown he can...you put him in for the Grey Cup...his threat alone to take it to house from anywhere will open things up for others...you have to account for him out there
We don't need Lucky on sweeps, we have Mike Miller!
That call was crazy. But it worked.

They already have a thread at RF.com discussing the move....not even joking
This just might happen. For some reason the Riders have an inordinate amount of pull. A potential roughing the passer call last year impacted their ability to win the WSF and we had extra officials the very next week, and completely new rules the next season.
I was always surprised that they didn't manage to get field goal return teams increased to 13 players on the field at a time.

I think it is superstition. Won two in a row against nemesis teams in the whites. Keep it rolling. I am perfectly fine with that logic. I was thinking seriously of not changing my underwear until the big game.

Well Actually (I'm one of those) there were 5 DB and 3 receivers in the endzone within 20 yards I think that even without a goalpost the Bombers would have had a good shot at knocking the pass down.
I am pretty sure that it was going to be picked or knocked down. Nobody was open.

Professional soccer and basketball have had very prominent cases of refs being paid off...... I wouldnt be totally surprised if it happened in the cfl as I am sure none of the officials get rich off the pay....
Wow. A CFL truther.

Jalen could end up in the CFL some day. I am not sure that he will be drafted that high and I am not sure he is an NFL starting QB. He is such a run-first QB and his accuracy was an issue in Alabama. He has been impressive in Oklahoma though. If he is drafted in the first round then he should send half of his first season to Lincoln Riley. That guy is genius.

Ed Tait is still a darn good journalist. His writing is extremely readable and his shows less bias than you would think.
Without him there would precious little Bomber coverage in this city for most of the year.

I am sure it would shock them to find out Bomber fans hate them.
Most of the rider fans would be shocked. They truly believe that every fan base in the country cheers for them whenever their own team is not playing. I am not kidding. It might have had some truth when they were suffering through successive decades of terrible teams, but not since they have become the obnoxious fan base in the history of team sport.

I don't care what they do this week. What they did last week seemed to upset a lot of posters during the week and yet they kicked butt on Sunday.
As long as it translates into a win this Sunday, then they can piss everyone off all they want this week.
Hold closed practices in Spain and cut everybody on the team but the cashier at the new store in the mall - as long as you win on Sunday - and I will completely happy with it.

That rule needs to be amended. It's the act of grabbing up high and pulling straight down that is a danger to players. Shouldn't matter exactly where you grab.
The horsecollar rule is intended to stop a particular mode of injury. It is actually called more liberally now than the original intent. Even with the wider interpretation, that tackle started at the front of the shoulder and it was not a penalty.

Every division game is a 4 point game for them.
By that logic, the Bombers have an advantage because we have 10 4-point games a year not 8 like the TiCats

No one has a more inflated record from feasting on the weak East over the past several years than the Hamilton Ti-Cats.
Not sure that it helps all that much. They still only play eastern teams 8 times a year - just like the Bombers do. They have the same advantage that all the best teams in a division have - they don't have to play themselves.

I just reacted that way as I don't think it's a fair comparison. The NFL was never about east vs west. Its division system is a completely different beast.
The NFL has never been about geography. Apparently it hurts their brains. Dallas has always been east of New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Raleigh, Atlanta, Detroit and Chicago on the map they use.

Thanks for this Jpan, that's great info. It raises another question (that likely would never come up in a game). I wonder if a Quarterback was ever put in as a place kicker, would that mean that one of the other QBs wouldn't be allowed to hold for him?
The only regular QB/kicker that I remember was Sonny Wade. But I think he was just a punter.
No, wait - Don Jonas. No idea who held for him. I think it might have be the person who was then known as Ralph Brock.

I look at it the opposite way. Players wear less than they did in Brock & Clements time. Shoulder pads are way smaller. There's not a lot of protection on the shoulder & upper arms with shoulder pads because the players like to show off their tats & guns nowadays. Then the helmets. They pop on & off like baseball caps. Most aren't properly inflated because if they were they wouldn't come of the way they do. I watched the Chiefs qb Matt Moore come off the field yesterday & he took off his helmet. It was on tight & he was grimacing while taking it of slowly. It didn't come off easily. That meant it was properly inflated & giving him the best protection possible. Helmets shouldn't come off like a cap. I think a lot of players love to show off how hard they work out & don't like tight helmets so they wear the equipment the way they want to. Leads to more injuries. That's my take.
Today's shoulder pads are very good and offer good protection. But, I am completely with you on the helmets. It drives me absolutely crazy whenever I see one come off during the play or a player pull it off like it was a baseball cap. A properly designed, built and fitted helmet is not easy to take off. Anything less should result in immediate ejection from the game and, for repeat offenders, suspensions. The Bombers drought of grey cups is a far less of a risk to the organization than lawsuits.

Along with the players being bigger and stronger, it's the equipment...back when gear was less, it hurt more to put a lick on someone. Now, you're wearing space age stuff where you don't feel anything, so you don't think twice about really smacking someone. Grapes has been making this same case in hockey, and I fully believe it...
Another reason is that muscles get stronger but tendons and cartilage are the same as they were back in the day. These are the weak link and the cause of almost all injuries. It is not just football. Pitchers get Tommy John surgery thrown in with their first MLB contract.
